Herbert Asquith

Famous quotes containing the words herbert and/or asquith:

    I got me flowers to straw thy way;
    I got me boughs off many a tree;
    But thou wast up by break of day,
    And brought’st thy sweets along with thee.
    —George Herbert (1593–1633)

    The ingrained idea that, because there is no king and they despise titles, the Americans are a free people is pathetically untrue.... There is a perpetual interference with personal liberty over there that would not be tolerated in England for a week.
    —Margot Asquith (1864–1945)
